I was _1_ _to see that it was an English-English dictionary, also known as a monolingual dictionary. _2_ _it was a dictionary intended for non native learners, none of my classmates had one and, to be honest, I found it extremely _3_ to use at first. I would look up words in the dictionary and still not fully understand the meaning. I was used to the _4_ bilingual dictionaries, in which the words are _ 5_ _ both in English and Chinese. I really wondered why my aunt _6_ to make things so difficult for me. Now, after studying English at university for three years, I _ 7_ _ that monolingual dictionaries are _8 _ in learning a foreign language As I found out, there is in fact often no perfect equivalence(对应) between two _9_ in two language. My aunt even goes so far as to 10_ _ that a Chinese “equivalent” can never give you the _11_ meaning of a word in English! Therefore, she insisted that I read the definition(定义) of a world in a monolingual dictionary when I wanted to get a better understanding of its meaning. _12_ _, I have come to see what she meant. Using a monolingual dictionary for learners has helped me in another important way. This dictionary uses a(n) 13 number of words, around 2, 000, in its definitions. When I read these definitions, I am 14 exposed to（接触）the basic words and learn how they are used to explain objects and ideas. 15 this, I can express myself more easily in English.1.Aworried Bsad Csurprised Dnervous2.ABecause BAlthough CUnless DIf3.Adifficult Binteresting Cambiguous Dpractical4.Anew Bfamiliar Cearlier Dordinary5.Aexplained Bexpressed Cdescribed Dcreated6.Aoffered Bagreed Cdecided Dhappened7.Aimagine Brecommend Cpredict Dunderstand8.Anatural Bbetter Ceasier Dconvenient9.Awords Bnames Cideas Dcharacters10.Ahope Bdeclare Cdoubt Dtell11.Aexact Bbasic Ctranslated Dexpected12.ALargely BGenerally CGradually DProbably13.Aextra Baverage Ctotal Dlimited14.Arepeatedly Bnearly Cimmediately Danxiously15.AAccording to BIn relation toCIn addition to DBecause of三、阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)A “If there is one thing Im sure about, it is that in a hundred years from now we will still be reading newspapers. It is not that newspapers are a necessity. Even now some people get most of their news from television or radio. Many buy a paper only on Saturday or Sunday. But for most people reading a newspaper has become a habit passed down from generation to generation. The nature of what is news may change. What basically makes news is what affects our lives the big political stories, the coverage of the wars, earthquakes and other disasters, will continue much the same. I think there will be more coverage of scientific research, though. Its already happening in areas that may directly affect our lives, like genetic(基因) engineering. In the future, I think there will be more coverage of scientific explanations of why we feel as we do as we develop a better understanding of how the brain operates and what our feelings really are. Its quite possible that in the next century newspapers will be transmitted(传送) electronically from Fleet Street and printed out in our own home. In fact, Im pretty sure that how it will happen in the future. You will probably be able to choose from a menu, making up your own newspaper by picking out the things you want to read sports and international news, etc. I think people have got it wrong when they talk about competition between the different media(媒体). They actually feed off each other. Some people once foresaw that television would kill off newspapers, but that hasnt happened. What is read on the printed page lasts longer than pictures on a screen or sound lost in the air. And as for the Internet, its never really pleasant to read something just on a screen. 26. What is the best title for the passage?A. The Best Way to Get News B. The Changes of Media C. Make Your Own Newspaper D. The Future of Newspaper 27. In the writers opinion, in the future, _. A. more big political affairs, wars and disasters will make news B. newspapers will not be printed in publishing houses any longer C. newspapers will cover more scientific research D. more and more people will watch TV 28. What will probably be on in the newspaper made by yourself?A. Sports and international news. B. A menu of important news. C. The most important news. D. What you are interested in. 29. From the passage, we can infer _. A. newspapers will win the competition among the different media B. newspapers will stay with us together with other media C. television will take the place of newspaper D. the writer believe some media will die out 30. The phrase “feed off” in the last paragraph means _. A. depend on B. compete with C. fight with D. kill off B A child who has once been pleased with a tale likes, as a rule, to have it retold in almost the same words, but this should not lead parents to treat printed fairy stories as formal texts. It is always much better to tell a story than read it out of a book, and, if a parent can produce what, in the actual situation of the time and the child, is an improvement on the printed text, so much the better. A charge made against fairy tales is that they harm the child by frightening him or making him sad thinking. To prove the latter, one would have to show in a controlled experiment that children who have read fairy stories were more often sorry for cruelty than those who had not. As to fears, there are, I think, some cases of children being dangerously terrified by some fairy story. Often, however, this arises(出现) from the child having heard the story once. Familiarity with the story by repetition turns the pain of fear into the pleasure of a fear faced and mastered.There are also people who object to fairy stories on the grounds that they are not objectively true, that giants, witches, two-headed dragons, magic carpets, etc. do not exist; and that, instead of being fond of the strange side in fairy tales, the child should be taught to learn the reality by studying history. I find such people, I must say so peculiar(奇怪的) that I do not know howr to a gue with them. If their case were sound, the world should be full of mad men attempting to fly from New York to Philadelphia on a stick or covering a telephone with kisses in the belief that it was their beloved girl-friend.No fairy story ever declared to be a description of the real world and no clever child has ever believed that it was.31. The author considers that a fairy story is more effective when it is _.A. repeated without any changeB. treated as a jokeC. made some changes by the parentD. set in the present32. According to the passage, great fear can take place in a child when the story is _.A. in a realistic setting B. heard for the first time C. repeated too often D. told in a different way33. The advantage claimed(提出) for repeating fairy stories to young children is that it _.A. makes them less fearful B. develops their power of memoryC. makes them believe there is nothing to be afraid of D. encourages them not to have strange beliefs34. The authors mention of sticks and telephones is meant to suggest that _.A. fairy stories are still being made up B. there is some misunderstanding about fairy talesC. people try to modernize old fairy stories D. there is more concern for childrens fears nowadays35. One of the reasons why some people are not in favor of fairy tales is that _.A. they are full of imagination B. they just make up the stories which are far from the truthC. they are not interesting D. they make teachers of history difficult to teachCThere are two types of people in the world. Although they have equal degree of health and wealth and other comforts of life, one becomes happy and the other becomes unhappy. This arises from the different ways in which they consider things, persons, events and the resulting effects upon their minds.People who are to be happy fix their attention on the convenience of things: the pleasant parts of conversation, the well prepared dishes, the goodness of the wine and the fine weather. They enjoy all the cheerful things. Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the opposite things. Therefore, they are continually dissatisfied. By their remarks, they sour the pleasure of society, offend(hurt) many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere. If this turn of mind was founded in nature, such unhappy persons would be the more to be pitied. The intention of criticizing(批评) and being disliked is perhaps taken up by imitation(模仿). It grows into a habit, unknown to its possessors. The habit may be strong, but it may be cured when those who have it realize its bad effects on their interests and tastes. I hope this little warning may be of service to them, and help them change this habit. Although in fact it is chiefly an act of the imagination, it has serious results in life since it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck. Those people offend many others; nobody loves them, and no one treats them with more than the most common politeness and respect. This frequently puts them in bad temper and draws them into arguments. If they aim at getting some advantages in social position or fortune, nobody wishes them success. Nor will anyone start a step or speak a word to favor their hopes. If they bring on themselves public objections, no one will defend or excuse them, and many will join to criticize their wrongdoings. These should change this bad habit and be pleased with what is pleasing, without worrying needlessly about themselves and others. If they do not, it will be good for others to avoid any contact(接触) with them. Otherwise, it can be disagreeable and sometimes very inconvenient, especially when one becomes mixed up in their quarrels. 36. People who are unhappy _.A. always consider things differently from othersB. usually are affected by the results of certain things C. usually misunderstand what others think or sayD. always discover the unpleasant side of certain things37. The phrase “sour the pleasure of society” most nearly means “_”. A. have a good taste with social lifeB. make others unhappy C. tend so scold others openlyD. enjoy the pleasure of life38. We can conclude from the passage that _.A. we should pity all such unhappy people B. such unhappy people are dangerous to social life C. people can get rid of the habit of unhappiness D. unhappy people can not understand happy persons39. If such unhappy persons insist on keeping the habit, the author suggests that people should _. A. prevent any communication with them B. show no respect and politeness to them C. persuade them to recognize the bad effects D. quarrel with them until they realize the mistakes40. In this passage, the writer mainly _. A. describes two types of people B. laughs at the unhappy peopleC. suggests the unhappy people should get rid of the habits of unhappinessD. tells people how to be happy in life DFive years ago, David Smith wore an expensive suit to work every day. “I was a clothes addict,” he jokes. “I used to carry a fresh suit to work with me so I could change if my clothes got wrinkled.” Today David wears casual clothes-khaki pants and sports shirt-to the office. He hardly ever wears a necktie. “Im working harder than ever,” David says, “and I need to feel comfortable.” More and more companies are allowing their office workers to wear casual clothes to work in the United States. The change from formal to casual office wear has been gradual. In the early 1990s, many companies allowed their employees to wear casual clothes on Friday(but only on Friday). This became known as “dress-down Friday” of “casual Friday”. “What started out as an extra one-day-a-week benefit for employees has really become an everyday thing.” said business consultant Maisly Jones.Why have so many companies started allowing their employees to wear casual clothes? One reason is that its easier for a company to attract new employees if it has a casual dress code. “A lot of young people dont want to dress up for work,” says the owner of a software company, “so its hard to hire people if you have a conservative dress code.” Another reason is that people seem happier and more productive when they are wearing comfortable clothes. In a study conducted by Levi Strauss and Company, 85 percent of employers said that they believe that casual dress improves employee morale. Only 4 percent of employers said that casual dress has a negative impact on productivity. Supporters of casual office wear also argue that a casual dress code helps them save money. “Suits are expensive, if you have to wear one every day,” one person said. “For the same amount of money, you can buy a lot more casual clothes.” 41. David Smith refers to himself as having been “a clothes addict,” because _.A. he often wore khaki pants and a sports shirt B. he couldnt stand a clean appearanceC. he wanted his clothes to look neat all the time D. he didnt want to spend much money on clothes42. David Smith wears casual clothes now, because _.A. they make him feel at ease when workingB. he cannot afford to buy expensive clothesC. he looks handsome in casual clothes D. he no longer works for any company43. According to this passage, which of the following statements is false? A. Many employees dont like a conservative dress code. B. Comfortable clothes make employees more productive. C. A casual clothes code is welcomed by young employees. D. All the employers in the U. S. are for casual office wear.44. According to this passage, which of the following statements is true? A. Company workers started to dress down about twenty years ago. B. Dress-down has become an everyday phenomenon since the early 1990s. C. “Dress-down Friday” was first given as a favor from employers. D. Many workers want to wear casual clothes to impress people.45. In this passage, the following advantages of casual office wear are mentioned in the passage except _.A. saving employees money B. making employees more attractive C. improving employees motivation D. making employees happier第二节 信息匹配(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。请在答题卡上将对应题号的相应选项字母涂黑。The people below are all looking for a hotel in Scotland for their holidays.
